Whakarongo Mai, E Ihowa — Listen, O Jehovah

Whakarongo Mai, E Ihowa — Listen, O Jehovah

Powerful, soulful Māori-inspired choral worship anthem. Begin with one rich female alto soloist singing “E Ihowa, whakarongo mai” unaccompanied. A large mixed SATB choir then enters softly, answering “Whakarongo mai” in deep, warm harmony. Build gradually into full four-part choral singing with strong sopranos, warm altos, resonant tenors and deep bass voices. Use emotional call-and-response between the alto soloist and choir. The entire choir should sing the choruses together with clear te reo Māori pronunciation, sustained harmonies and powerful crescendos. Accompaniment: piano, finger-picked acoustic guitar, warm bass, atmospheric strings, deep cinematic drums and gentle Māori-inspired hand percussion. Add a brief silence before the final chorus, then return with the full choir at maximum emotional strength. Finish softly with layered voices repeating “Whakarongo mai.” Slow 6/8 rhythm, 72 BPM, A minor moving into C major. Reverent, soulful, majestic and deeply moving. No pop-style v

Lyrics

[Intro — unaccompanied female alto] E Ihowa Whakarongo mai Whakarongo mai Ki te tangi o te iwi e [Verse 1 — English] Listen, Jehovah, to the cries of your people Hear every prayer rising into the night Some hearts are weary and searching for comfort Draw near to them and surround them with light When fear is heavy and hope feels distant When words cannot express all the pain You know each heart and you see every teardrop We call on your holy name [Pre-Chorus] E Ihowa Kei konei mātou With humble hearts We come before you [Chorus — call and response] E Ihowa Whakarongo mai (Whakarongo mai) Ki te tangi o te iwi e Whakarongo mai Āwhinatia mai rā Tātou e huihui nei Tae noa ki te mutunga E Ihowa [Verse 2 — Māori] I roto i te pōuri Ko koe tō mātou rama I roto i te āwhā Ko koe tō mātou piringa E kite ana koe I ngā roimata e rere nei Ka rangona e koe Ngā karakia o te iwi e [English response] In the darkness, you are our light In every storm, our shelter strong You see the tears that fall in silence You hear your people’s song [Pre-Chorus] E Ihowa Kei konei mātou With humble hearts We come before you [Chorus — stronger] E Ihowa Whakarongo mai (Whakarongo mai) Ki te tangi o te iwi e Whakarongo mai Āwhinatia mai rā Tātou e huihui nei Tae noa ki te mutunga E Ihowa [Bridge — begin softly and build] Whakamoemiti ki te Atua I ngā wā katoa Ka whakamoemiti mātou Ahakoa te pōuri Nā Ihowa a Ihu i tuku mai Hei rama mō te ao Ko Ihu te huarahi Te pono, te oranga Guide us through the darkness Lead us in your way Keep us close together Until the final day [Musical pause] E Ihowa! [Final Chorus — powerful] E Ihowa Whakarongo mai (Whakarongo mai) Ki te tangi o te iwi e Hear the cries of your people Āwhinatia mai rā Tātou e huihui nei Tae noa ki te mutunga E Ihowa E Ihowa Whakarongo mai (Whakarongo mai) Kei a koe tō mātou tūmanako Our hope remains in you Āwhinatia mai rā Kia kaha tonu mātou Tae noa ki te mutunga E Ihowa [Outro — softly] Whakarongo mai Whakarongo mai Ki te tangi o te iwi e Tae noa ki te mutunga E Ihowa
